Clifton-Webb Doesn’t Like Headaches
fHlfi WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By DIWJW PEARSON
(Noter While Drew Pearson is on a brief
vacation, the Washijigto/J Merry-Go-Round
is being written ‘by several guest columnists,
today’s being thewefrlcfiown star, Clifton
Webb.)
By CLIFTON WEBB
Washington.—There is a time-ridden
canard that no comedian can happily enter
the actors’ valhalla <$ bear to see the last
curtain rung down unless he has—for one
performance, anyway—wowed them in Win-
socki (I believe that/is the phrase) with his
own personal version of the tearful and tra-
gic Hamlet.
This* JL. maintain, is nonsense.
I am never hrippier than whfcin: playing
Clifton Webli- in the role of Clilton 'Webb.
And as to my ability to replace the daunt-
less Drew Pearson for a day, let there be no
trepidation. The doubts of the faint-hearted
i (mere dj<I a brash producer
who suggested,i^ter'.ipteAof my first Mr.
I can demolish
Belvedere pictures,’that Webb woulchno long-
er be speaker to small fry now that he had
achieved this enormous success.
"My dear man,” I replied icily, * 1 have
always been a success. One more will not un-
settle me”’
I am not a modest man. as someone once
said (probably 1. myself), and yet I must
confess that there is an ego-tingling element
of piquancy in the knowledge that 1 can as-
sume, temporarily, at least, the cloud-topped
and jovian mantle of a‘syndicated pundit ,
dispensing last-minute exclusives from a hot
seat or Qlympus.
I can see tl;e advantages, but without
altogether desiring them. Not permanently,
anyway. From what 1 recall of my Greek
mythology, JoVe was a man with ample pow-
er, but with a certain quota of headaches
also. I d<r not enjoy headaches. 1 do not en
joy hot seats, either, nor al the c mcomitants
of power, but sometimes they are unavoid-1
able.
Take, for illustration, a certain picture
I have recently completed at 20th Century-
Fo: called "Woman’s World.” It is a modern
fable dealing with that phenomenon of our
times, tfie contemporary American woman
It tells how three wives, June Allyson,
I<auren Bacall and Arlene Dahl, influence
the selection from among their respective
husbands—Cornel Wilde, Fred MacMurray
and Van Heflin—of a man to fill a $125,00f
post in my motorcar company.
—Many Other Talents—
In my role of Gyd-like puppeteer jt wouk
have beeh sp easy to succumb to the Helve
derean legend and throw oatmeal in theii
faces.—-'as J^gtcc did to an impertent mite ii
"Sitting Pretty.” But then this would hav<
violated a high resolve to demonstrate
Webb’s jnapy other unique Thespiau talents
Instead, the attitude 1 chose was Olympia!
and even 'Webbian. Humor, sympathy anr
justice; the. light touch, the airy gesture. A
chance to needle my bewildered puppets, bu1
still to enjoy their bon mots.
For instance, there is a scene in the pic
ture where I have brought together, at r
cocktail party in New York, the three wivei
and the three husbands (tax deductible, o
course), as'well as some of the other offi
cials of my company, also tax deductiblf
The wives and the husbands are on trial an'
they know it. And yet June Allyson, fright
ened and nervous that her husband will ge'
the job,,makes a slight faux pas because o'
one martini too many. Hiccups, unexpected
md uninhibited, overcome her. Her innerL_
struggle plays a counter-point* to my wel-
coming speech.
"Ldt me suggest,” I say to the assemb-
lage, “#iat when we are together Wl will
have a much better time if we all forget that
I am president of our company. (A smile to-
wards the women.) 1 want particularly for
you young ladies to enjoy this visit. And
that can best be accomplished by just being
yourselves.”
Miss Allyson responds with another ex-
plosive hiccup.
“Thank you,” 1 say, with a bow and a
smile towards Miss Allyson. "That’s just
what 1 mean.”
Webbian, pure Webbian.
—All Things Possible—
Naturally, only the pervading genius of
Webb, to whose screen personality all things
are possible, keeps this shining assemblage
and its shining surroundings out of the realm
of fairy tales. I play Jove, 1 look down from
, Olympus, even as Mr. Drew Pearson. If I
were not enchanted with the role and did not
, feel competent to portray it, 1 would not be
i doing it. 1 enjoy my sublease on the moun-
Itain top, as who wouldn’t?
But then, of course, there comes the
end of the page, the path down the mountain.
Jove departs and Webb becomes Webb again.
As I once said somewhere (I invariably re-
member my best lines), "If you want audi-
ences to have an appetite for metre of you,
always leave them hungry.”
Did 1 head a hiccup? Thank you very
much; that’s just what I mean.

Queeg was more than just a movie role, he
was an experience.)
Evanston, Illinois—A Congres-
sional Committee Investigating ag-
Ktraouru ia&ucu an imitation io
Hungarian churchmen this week .
and therby set off an uproar.
It all benan when Republican I
representative Alvin M. Bently of j
Michigan-chairman of the tnves-1
tigatlng committee— invited testi-!
mony from the Hungarian delegates
attending the World of Churches
in Evanston. Illinois.
The commit tee this week has been 1
holding hearings on Red dominat-
ion of Hungary.
Bentley said he wanted the Hun- i
garians to testify because—in his;
words—their statements "that com- J
plete religious freedom exists in'
Hungary are in direct conflict I
with testimony before this commit- :
tec."
The rejection came from Bishop
Albert Bereczky of Hungary, who Boston 55
wired Bently the delegates could Detroit . 55
not accept. Washington ........ (2
A second telegram was sent by philsdelpha 42
Dr. Franklin Clark Fry. president Baltimore 40
of the United Lutheran Church in
America, a resident of New Rochelle
New York, and a vice chairman of 1
the World Council Central Com-
mittee.
Fry said he was “amazed” at the .
impropriety.
Cintents of the wires were an- i
nounced at n news conference Fri- |
day by Charles Purlin, head of the j
council publicity and press sec-1
tion.
Pariin—a wealthy New york
lawyer—said the Iron Curtain del-
egates wanted to “tend to their
business and not get involved in
outside matters."
Methodist Bishop Cl. Bromley!
Oxnam of Washington also attack- I
ed Bentley's proposal.
Said Oxnam—"I san understand j
perfectly well how the Hungarians 1
—who are here on church business- I
fell about the matter ... It is
mast unfortunate that guests at an ,
internatinal meeting are asked to
appear before a national commit-
tee.”

MOHAMMEDAN DISCORD
There is a lift in the Mohammedan
world in the Near Eastern states.
On one side is the Arab League, formed
in 1945, by Egypt., Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Ara-
bia. Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Libya. Egypt
is the leader, and is trying to get its fellow
members to join in wui against Israel.
On the other side is a new alliance be-
tween Turkey and Pakistan, who are more
interested in forming a bulwark against
Communism than in Arab schemes against
Israel. Iran stands outside either group.—
(Corsicana Sun).

subject ourselves or we know where we can
